Christina Moss Naturals Hair Conditioner

This conditioner is designed to hydrate, soften, and support hair health using a plant-forward formula that avoids heavy silicones and synthetic fragrance. It combines aloe, plant-derived conditioning agents, oils, and botanical extracts to help improve manageability while keeping the formula relatively simple and low-tox.

This is best suited for normal to dry hair types looking for moisture and softness without heavy buildup.

What I Like

• Uses aloe as the base instead of water, which gives this a more hydrating, scalp-supportive feel from the start.
• Relies on plant-derived conditioning agents rather than silicone coatings, so hair feels softer without that heavy, coated finish.
• Includes nourishing oils and extracts like olive oil, shea butter, baobab, and acai, which help with softness and manageability.
• No synthetic fragrance blends; scent comes from botanical extracts and peppermint oil.
• A good option if you’re trying to simplify your hair routine while staying aligned with a low-tox approach.

Things to Keep in Mind

• EWG rating: 3. This score is primarily influenced by Brassicamidopropyl Dimethylamine (a plant-derived conditioning agent) and algae/kelp ingredients, which can be flagged in the EWG database due to contamination concerns rather than inherent toxicity. These concerns are generally related to sourcing and environmental exposure, not typical topical cosmetic use.
• Peppermint oil is included for scent and scalp feel. Those with fragrance sensitivity or reactive scalps may want to patch test.
• This is a moisturizing conditioner, but very thick, coarse, or highly textured hair may still prefer a richer formula or an occasional deep conditioner.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

This formula is generally considered low risk for topical cosmetic use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does contain peppermint oil and multiple botanical extracts, which may be stimulating for very sensitive or reactive scalps. Patch testing is recommended for those with eczema-prone skin, fragrance sensitivity, or known reactions to essential oils.

Essential oil transparency note: Essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. Feather & Nest prioritizes brands that test for purity and minimize contaminants whenever possible.
